(This was posted first yesterday late Sunday night on my Facebook, Instagram, X/Twitter, and Discord feeds)Happy (Late) Mario Day! 😀

Sorry, I'm late because earlier, due to my responsibilities as a young adult, I had to exercise. I know I have to make this prior to yesterday, but I got too busy with my schedule with real life.

After I came out of church (as a Filipino-American person whose religious view is Roman-Catholic) at around 10:30am CST/11:30am EST/8:30am PST, The Super Mario Bros. Movie 2 was officially announced from Nintendo and Illumination and it's set to be released in theatres on April 3, 2026. It's because Mario Day this year fell on a Sunday.

If you have a Nintendo Switch console (and also if you have a Nintendo Switch Online Membership) I'll re-add my Friend Code soon.

Happy (Late) International Women's Day! 😀🥰👍🏽

I was originally intended to post this in the morning, but I had to delay it, due to my timeframe with watching the new movie that came out today in theatres from DreamWorks Animation, Kung Fu Panda 4.

Yes, these lovely ladies here that supported my indie arts, entertainment, and popular culture brand and content! 😀🥰👍🏽

While I was off the internet for hours on International Women's Day, I saw the new animated movie from DreamWorks Animation, Kung Fu Panda 4 in theatres. I'm giving this at 10/10 (5 stars on my review of this on Letterboxd). It's a great movie where all of Po's enemies return from the Spirit Realm watching Po fight the shape-shifting Chameleon. Instead of the Furious Five helping Po, he has found and teams up with Zhen who is a quick-witted corsec fox Zhen and she was chosen by Po to be the next Dragon Warrior and Po and the Furious Five is training her during the end credits.

As I'm now a young adult, I personally grew up watching the first 3 Kung Fu Panda movies in theatres. The first movie came out in 2008 when I was only 9 years old (as a kid) at that time when I saw it in theatres, the 2nd film came out in 2011 when I was only 12 years old, and the 3rd movie in 2016, when I was only 17 years old. Yeah, I'm a longtime fan of DreamWorks Animation, as I grew up with Shrek (one of the first movies I saw as a kid on DVD, along with Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron, and Chicken Run (not produced by DreamWorks Animation, Aardman Animations made the animation, and my first exposure to stop motion animated film and the British animation studio) but was released by them on VHS. I even grew up with movies where Jack Black appeared in (I didn't know him until 2004 when I saw Shark Tale in theatres). This is also the last Kung Fu Panda film to be made in-house at DreamWorks Animation at their Glendale location. Future animated films after the release of the next upcoming film, The Wild Robot (as I saw the teaser again before the movie), will be sourced to outside studios, similar to their sister animation studio Illumination Entertainment.

(Sorry, as I'm 6 days late as this originally intended to be posted on March 1, 2024, but extended to add more collages)

This month in March, Ethan celebrates Women's History Month! 😀

All of these nice lovely ladies and girls have played a monumental role on my indie arts and entertainment content brand! 😀🥰 I know Grey DeLisle and Jessica DiCicco are so sweet, perky, upbeat, and cheerful ladies! 😀🥰

I'm all over the places in the world of my interests into voice acting, animation, live-action, and video games (mostly with Nintendo).

This is my special thanks to them, as a Filipino-American person who's good friends with them. If I meet them in person, they'll recognize me.

I know I have both pieces of media with Cameo and autographs from Grey DeLisle, Tara Strong, Jessica DiCicco, and soon getting an autograph from Nika Futterman.

2 days ago, I saw Dune: Part Two in theatres, I'm giving this at 9/10. Paul Atreides unites with Chani and the Fremen while seeking revenge against the conspirators who destroyed his family. Facing a choice between the love of his life and the fate of the universe, he must prevent a terrible future only he can foresee. Yes, aside from English, most were speaking in Arabic (as the movie took place in Egypt).

This is also as well, that I'm familiar with Timothée Chalamet, as I first saw him in the first Dune reboot movie back in 2021, and as the title character in Wonka last year.

For lunch today, while on break from internet, I had the 10 Piece Chicken McNuggets combo meal to celebrate for anime fans at McDonald’s (or WcDonald’s, as I’m familiar with that as I remember from some parody that acknowledged this name from an anime, I don’t remember what anime featured WcDonald’s).

For people who don’t know what a Yankee is, no not to be confused with the baseball team from NYC, the New York Yankees. Yankee means that a person who lives in the United States, as I’m an American of Filipino descent residing in the greater American city of Chicago (as it’s the 3rd most populous American city after New York City and Los Angeles). Obviously, McDonald’s is an American-based fast food chain, and it has locations internationally in most countries as I know they have locations in Canada, Japan, Philippines, Australia (as Macca’s), UK, Mexico, Spain, and others.

Yes, I do miss when McDonald’s here in the US, used to have salads, grilled chicken sandwiches, McWraps, and Snack Wraps here. It’s available at International locations such as Canada and the UK.

Newest animated features I'm hyped for next month in March! 😀

What animated movies are you hyped for in here?

Connections between both, ironically, Sumalee Montano, the voice of Maria Santiago, did voiceover work in the DreamWorks Animation series for Netflix, Kung Fu Panda: The Paws of Destiny as the voice of Shi Long in the episode, "Curse of the Monkey King".

For those of you who is curious about my current age, also as well, just because this contains both animated movies that are made for kids shown here, DOSEN'T mean this post should be for kids too. As I'm obviously a young adult who's into animation made for kids and adults, same with video games from Nintendo and Mojang Studios (the company that made Minecraft). I've been a fan of Kung Fu Panda movies growing up. I saw the first KFP movie as a kid, KFP 2 in my preteen, KFP 3 as a teenager, and soon the 4th movie in my adulthood.

While I took a hiatus from making projects and playing video games on my Nintendo Switch, I’ve tasted the new Coca-Cola Spiced (regular and Zero Sugar) drinks from Coca-Cola Creations from Coca-Cola.

I got these from one of my local Walmart locations.

As an American person of Filipino descent young adult person based in the greater Chicago, IL area in the US, who's into the world of entertainment and popular culture, making it as a the largest American-based arts, entertainment, and popular culture brand, who's into animation (cartoons), anime, video games (mostly with Nintendo (as I'm currently playing games on the Nintendo Switch) and Minecraft (Java and Bedrock Editions), live-action, movies, and other types of media like advertising and company mascots. As the animation cast is based in the Los Angeles, CA area (the city I went to back in 2005, when I went from there to Mexico with a cruise from Royal Caribbean, and I was only 6 years old at that time), and the live-action cast in Albuquerque, NM.

Aside from The Casagrandes Movie that will be released next month on March 22nd on Netflix, and new Loud House and Casagrandes graphic novels that are coming soon this year, I'm soon going to get a Luna Loud lithograph to be signed by Nika Futterman at Planet Comicon next month from March 8-10, as I ordered from GalaxyCon, and planning to get a Lori Loud lithograph to be signed by Catherine Taber from Celebworx, and The Really Loud House Season 1 DVD.

Once I get the Luna and Lori Loud, that will be signed by Nika Futterman and Catherine Taber soon this year, I might be one of the Loud House fans that will have all the pieces of media from all of the cartoon-based voice actresses of the Loud sisters. Liliana Mumy will be the lone person, as I only have a Cameo from her. I have yet to get a Leni Loud lithograph to be signed by her. I have both Cameo videos and lithographs from Grey DeLisle, Jessica DiCicco, and soon from Nika Futterman, while I have lithographs signed by Cristina Pucelli, Lara Jill Miller, and soon from Catherine Taber.

This is my special thanks to:

Cartoon Based: Catherine Taber, Liliana Mumy, Nika Futterman, Cristina Pucelli, Jessica DiCicco, Grey DeLisle, Lara Jill Miller

Live-Action: Lexi DiBenedetto, Sophia Woodward, Catherine Bradley, Aubin Bradley, Annaka Fourneret, Ella Allan, Mia Allan, Lexi Janicek, August Michael Peterson, and Emily Ford

Honest: Eva Carlton, Wolfgang Schaeffer, and Brian Stepanek

The Loud House is one of my favorite cartoons of the 2010s-2020s era cartoons, even for my favorite voice actresses and longtime voice actresses, Grey DeLisle, Jessica DiCicco, Lara Jill Miller, and Nika Futterman, these ladies have been doing animation voiceover work back when I was a kid in the 2000s watching cartoons airing on Disney Channel, Cartoon Network, Nickelodeon, Nicktoons, Nick Jr. (TV channel), Noggin, and PBS Kids). 1990s (I was born in 1999) for Grey DeLisle, Lara Jill Miller, and Nika Futterman.

Ironically on the same day of Leah Mei Gold (the voice of Sid Chang')'s birthday today, an official new trailer for The Casagrandes Movie has dropped.

Streaming next month on March 22nd on Netflix.

One of the animated movies, I'm hyped for, along with Kung Fu Panda 4 (as obviously, I know both movies are made for kids, but actually loved by animation fans who are older than the 6-12 age demographic), which hits theatres March 8th.

Yes, 2 new animated features I'm hyped for next month in March from Netflix, Nickelodeon Animation Studios, Nickelodeon, Universal Pictures and DreamWorks Animation. As a popular culture person who's into content from Nickelodeon, Netflix, and DreamWorks Animation.

Yes, Izabella Alvarez (Ronnie Anne Santiago) and Leah Mei Gold (Sid Chang) are good friends of me, as they recognized my arts and entertainment content for nearly 5 years since 2019, and last year in 2023, I did get a Cameo video from Izabella doing her Ronnie Anne voice.

Also, as I always say, I've been to Mexico in person 2 times. I went for my first time there back in 2005, when I went from Los Angeles, CA (where voice recording for most cartoons are recorded, as they're members of SAG-AFTRA) to Mexico with a cruise from Royal Caribbean, and my 2nd time in 2007, when I visited my Filipino relatives in the greater Lower Rio Grande Valley area residing in Mission-McAllen, TX area (as it's by the US-Mexico International Border). As I'm proud to be an American person, with a Filipino descent based in the greater Chicago area supporting this American-produced cartoon spin-off of The Loud House. As this spin-off cartoon featured multi-cultural.

To promote this, I'm also planning doing more new fan arts based on this.
